20 Minute Fish Tacos

Making fish tacos can be a daunting tasks especially when you have to batter the fish, make the slaw, and make the crema on top. These fish tacos take less than 20 minutes to make and are absolutely delicious. We make this exact fish taco recipe once a week as a quick dinner after work.

I personally find Costco to have the best quality quick food options. When buying breaded fish I prefer to have higher quality because some brands are not as crisp out the air fryer. I have also noticed that some leak water which makes the taco shell soggy. The fish from Costco does not do that!
